clocks will only exist for so long does that mean time will end when clocks cease to exist time will as well?


Measuring something doesn't make it exist. It's still hot outside even though I am not holding a thermometer.

Time doesnt win anything because time isnt conscious to understand the concept of winning.
Second there is no win or lose, its only a concept of human perception.
Third there is no time, there is only now and change.

Time is measured by a clock dumdum.


time is measured in many ways but they are all measurements of change. On a clock time is measured by the changing numbers or the moving clock hands. Time is also measured by the planets rotating the sun and by the movement of stars in the sky. All are representations of change occurring. Does time exist without change? If it does, i dont know how to measure it.

To measure is to examine the change between two points.
Clocks measure the change in time.

Change alone is not a unit of measurement.

In time, I think change alone is the only method of observation or measurement. Change defines time. Without change, what is time? An unobservable theory i'd think.

Shut up multi




Lol, i love that people think i care enough to make multis in the general chat section of some obscure little forum on the internet devoted to a game created back in the 18th century. But o.k.. I'll shutup. Because your opinion is really important to me.
